Official statement: Our Lady and St Philip Neri School (17 November 2021) Officers of the Archdiocese of Southwark were surprised and disappointed that Mrs Justice Lang DBE yesterday refused permission to appeal the inspector’s refusal of planning permission for Our Lady and St Philip Neri and that...

The Archdiocese of Southwark has had its appeal against planning enforcement refused on each of its grounds. When the written notice is published, it will be posted on SE26.life. Thank you for the update Julia. Lewisham as the LPA and through its QC at the PINS stage reached out to the school and t...

But what did the Romans ever do for us.

A report commissioned by Lewisham Council estimates the cost of refurbishment at the site could be at least £2.4 million. This includes repairs to fitness equipment and changing rooms, swimming pool maintenance, and possible excavation work to fix blocked drains around the main pool and changing ar...

Received a new variant on scam emails this morning. Allegedly from E.ON it tried to scam me into believing I had been overcharged by them and a refund had to be paid into my bank. It was well designed and looked almost entirely authentic and believable - except I don't have an electricity supply fro...

Off for my booster this morning (Wed). Linda had not received her invite so contacted our surgery who in turn advised her that Touchwood in Sydenham is dispensing booster jabs. Spoke to Touchwood and apparently there are appointment and walk-in options available at weekends and they conduct the sess...

We had our original Covid jabs at King's as I was on their outpatient list.

My GP surgery has invited me to make an appointment for the booster and it is now scheduled for mid-week.

Linda has not received an invite yet.

The national reserve stock of petrol will be in those cars that do not need full tanks. The petrol companies will put prices up. Petrol stations will be re-stocked. We have seen it all before. And all because THERE IS NO PETROL SHORTAGE. There - we are all back to normal and the prices have gone up...

Stuart in response to your question in another place - yes Sainsbury's petrol station do E5.

I got £35 worth there yesterday and with no queue.

Booked for flu jabs at our GP surgery Saturday morning.

No call-up for our Covid booster yet.

I am looking forward to welcoming you to the Assembly and the Fun Palace that will be held in person at The Sydenham Centre on Saturday starting at 11am. We will be launching the NCIL Fund of £88,084 and this is your opportunity to suggest bids to the Assembly. We have a number of community updates...

Julia Webb attended the full Lewisham Council meeting on 29 September 2021. During September's Public Questions with Answers portion of the agenda Julia asked a supplementary question on the Livesey Memorial Hall matter that required an answer from Cllr Paul Bell. Julia's well-formed question elicit...

Glad that I am hearing reports of local people on the vulnerable list are being given appointments for the booster injection.

It would seem that appointments are being used to "double-up" and do the flu vaccine at the same visit.

Good news.

Hi John. I think you have mistaken the numbers, as the babies attending the BGNF meeting were not entitled to vote. A couple of people had to leave before the vote, which was overwhelmingly in favour of proceeding. You are the only person who voted against, and there were no abstentions. Your vote ...

The first manifestation of an info website that seeks to inform Bellingham Ward residents and businesses about the potential to form a body that focuses on the Ward issues from within its boundaries was launched on Friday. https://bell-green.org/ For clarity it is NOT the the proposal led by Julia W...

There is the slimmest possibility it will be short lived. Once the tens of millions of cars that happily pootled around with half-filled tanks have filled their tanks to the brim, the demand will reduce. The national reserve stock of petrol will be in those cars that do not need full tanks. The petr...

An announcement of a new website launched to support the setting up of a Bellingham Ward body. https://bell-green.org/ Views from within the Bellingham Ward expressed with detail, honesty, transparency and integrity. It unambiguously supports the setting up a body for Bellingham Ward that embraces B...

“We need the tennis courts, and other sports grounds, and the boxing gym does great youth work at minimal cost to parents. We just can’t lose it.” She is fundraising for a legal team to fight any sale and claims locals should have a right to bid for an asset of community value. But the council deni...

Here are prime examples of how with regular certainty some "hard facts" quoted in one post evolve entirely into some other "hard fact" from Julia at a later date. It is not clear that there ever was a four year gap in the running of a club in the Hall as described by Julia. In th...

That is exactly what you have just done to me. Have you talked to Colleen yet, to check your facts? Not at all clear what you want me to clarify with Colleen. However let's examine some historic matters. Have you revealed to Colleen that you and SydSoc conspired to have Keir's planning application ...
